If Google will bring Android apps to traditional desktops they can gain something in a short run, but hurt Android as a platform replacing Windows. Android as Windows replacement can bring Google much more, but it would take much more time.

Personally I hope that Android with or without Google will replace Windows.

What would be the advantage of Android to replace Windows on the Desktop? As someone who doesn't use Android, i am really interested. Are there technical details where Android is ahead somehow or is it personal preference?
